The Transportation Enhancement Program offers extensive opportunities to take unique and creative actions to integrate transportation into our communities and the natural environment. Transportation enhancement activities can be stand-alone projects or implemented as part of an ongoing transportation project. In either case, the project must relate to the intermodal transportation system in terms of function, proximity or impact. For example, an independent bike path is a functional component of the intermodal transportation system. Removal of outdoor advertising within an individual's view of a highway is justified in light of its proximity. Retrofitting an existing highway by creating a wetland to filter runoff from the highway would qualify based on the impact of the highway in terms of water pollution.
